14 Independent Examination
The councils sent the neighbourhood plan to an independent professional examiner. The examiner’s role is to ensure that the neighbourhood plan reflects local consultation and evidence and does not contradict other plans such as the councils Local Plans, the Mayor of London’s Local Plan, and National Planning Policies, all of which also guide decisions about which developments are given planning permission.
